Rabbi Philip Bentley to hold seminar Tuesday

A seminar by Rabbi Philip Bentley on “Improving Organizational Effectiveness in the Attainment of Civic Goals” will be held from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Kaplan Auditorium of the Henderson County Library Main Branch in Hendersonville.

Bentley addressed 17 civic and community improvement groups that participated in the Community Conversations for a Better World event on June 29. There, representatives with table displays and literature provided information about their activities to the public. The Tuesday seminar is a follow-up to that event.

The seminar is for those with an interest in peace, civil rights, social and/or economic justice. A question- and-answer period will follow. The free seminar is open to the public. Call 828-697-2538 for more information.

Sponsors needed to fund Toy Run

On Nov. 23, the 2013 Henderson County Toy Run will collect toys and donations to provide Christmas for children in need. Sponsors are needed to fund this event to cover the necessary expenses so that all donations from riders will go directly to the children.

Consider sponsoring the 2013 Henderson County Toy Run with a donation of $100 or more. Donations of door prizes, silent auction items, and/or drinks are also needed. Donors of those items will also be included on the banner displayed at the park.
